YOU CAN BE A HERO TODAY WITH A GIFT
THAT TRANSFORMS LIVES
|
 This month, Rye Y staff will be asking for your help
to raise vital funds for friends and neighbors who need a helping hand. We will be
holding several fundraising events and challenges in classes and throughout the building
and would appreciate your support
.
Thanks to your generosity last year,
we awarded nearly $418,000 in financial assistance to families and individuals
in need.
We were also able to provide:
* Safety Around Water workshops to 1,200 students at three elementary schools, free of charge, as part of our drowning prevention program.
* Free pool time, lifeguards and meeting space every week for the Rye Association for the Handicapped so those with disabilities can get vital exercise.
* LIVESTRONG at the YMCA free of charge, so cancer survivors can reclaim their total health in this 12-week small group program.
Together, with your help, we can ensure that every person who needs financial assistance to participate in Rye programs and activities will have that chance!
BE OUR HERO AND SUPPORT THE Y TODAY!
